    I stopped donating to WW after the scandal, I know the CEO's were fired but can anyone confirm this Foundation has straightened itself out?

    I just searched for "whatever happened to WWP" and this popped up. I was wondering. I'm a "wounded warrior" myself and around 10 years ago they sent me a couple hats and license plate frame. After that it was relegated to emails asking if I'd sign up for events in some far-off city since my area is too podunk to mess with. Then I found out signing up doesn't guarantee a spot and I guess since my wounds weren't "good'nuff" I couldn't get in anyways. Hopefully there are some wounded warriors out there that actually got some valuable service from all that cash.

    I was wounded in 2002 in the very beginning in Afghanistan. Lately I’ve heard a lot of people give wounded warrior program a lot of grief. I can tell you as a 100% service connected permanent and total disabled veteran and having over 30 surgeries. When I go to the VA and that person says he would you like to come fish on a private river owned by the government and nobody can touch or would you like to go on a trip to the mountains and try and ski or try and play in the snow. No other organization is offering those experiences on a constant basis. He wanted warrior program is one of the best organizations as a disabled veteran I’ve ever been a part of. The tunnels to tower project is a good one too but I’ve never been at the VA in a tunnel did tower representative approach me and ask if I wanna takeoff for a week or if my family needs a break in and if that we need to takeoff for a week. Thank you for everything you do for what we have sacrificed

      why is having occassional fishing trips or skiing trips better than taking care of people financially, medically and mentally?????? That makes absolutely no sense to me....

      The CEO was paying himself 480.000 dollars a year while the president of the United States earns four hundred thousand what a scam. Google the list of highest paid employees and see the obscene salaries they're making. With job titles that are made up.

    I knew something was shady about this charity. When I saw these commercials I couldn't help but wonder "WHAT KIND OF COUNTRY DO WE LIVE IN, THAT THE PEOPLE WHO WENT AND RISKED THEIR LIVES OR INJURED THEMSELVES FOR, HAVE TO HAVE CHARITIES TAKE CARE OF THEIR NEEDS?" THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE TOO GREAT OF A COUNTRY TO ME. I bet it's some greedy conservatives running this charity.

    The only veterans who deserve anything are former draftees and the draft hasn’t been used since Vietnam
    Every soldier in the war in the Middle East chose to join the service and deserve nothing!
    I have former draftees in my family and there benefits and med care are abissmal , but they are the only ones who deserve any help
    Shame on anyone who chose to join the service then expect special treatment or help with anything in life!
